Features
Video — The switchers input and output RGBHV or RGBS (VGA) video on
15-pin HD connectors. They can also switch RGsB, RsGsBs, component/
HDTV, S-video, or composite video.
Bandwidth — The MVX switchers provide a minimum of 300 MHz (-3 dB) video
bandwidth, fully loaded.
Audio inputs — The switchers input and output balanced or unbalanced stereo
audio on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw terminals.
Audio input gain/attenuation — Individual input audio levels can be adjusted so
there are no noticeable volume differences between sources. You can set the
input level of audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB) via the front panel
or via serial port control.
Audio output volume — The audio volume of each output can be displayed and
adjusted through a range of full output to complete silence, from the front
panel or via serial port control.
Switching flexibility — The switchers provide individually buffered, independent
matrix switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway.
• Tie any input to any or all outputs.
• Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs
simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to
source at the same time.
• Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input
via front panel control or via serial port remote control.
• Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding
video signal. This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with
any video signal and simultaneously tied to one or all outputs in any
combination. Audio breakaway switching can be done via front panel control
or via serial port remote control.
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection, setting of
presets, and adjustment of audio levels can be performed on the front panel
or via either serial port. The serial ports allow remote control via a PC or a
control system.
• Front Panel Controller — The front panel controller supports input and
output selection, preset creation and selection, audio gain and attenuation,
and volume control. The front panel features slots for labels that can identify
each input and output with text or graphics.
• Windows-based control program — For serial port remote control from
a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides a graphical
interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation. The Windows-based
control program also has an emulation mode that lets you create a switcher
configuration file at the home office and then download it for use by the
switcher on site.
• Simple Instruction Set (SIS) — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s SIS
for easy programming and operation.
• Remote control panels and keypads — The matrix switchers are remote
controllable, using the optional MKP 2000 and MKP 3000 remote control
keypads. The remote control devices are easy to use and provide tactile
buttons for quick selection. Each MKP can be used for input-to-output
switching and one-touch switching for a particular output. The MKP 3000
also can be used for selection of global presets.
